Blemishes
Blemishes - acne breakouts, pimples, blackheads, tend to plague us in teenage years mostly but can last well into adulthood. If you tend to have breakouts, or even just blackheads, you need to tackle the excess oil that you may be producing as well as removing the buildup of dead skin cells that can be a breeding ground for bacteria and pimples. So, like those with oily skin, you want to find products that assist in balancing your skin rather than stripping it raw - which will end up making it worse. Regular use of the right plant oils and extracts can work to heal, protect and nourish your skin while keeping the excess oil away!
